Vladimir Putin signed a record national budget aimed at strengthening the military amid massive battlefield losses.
After the budget was approved by the lower house of parliament, President Vyacheslav Volodin said it was drawn up in particular to fund the military and mitigate the effect of foreign sanctions imposed after Russian troops were sent into Ukraine in February 2022.

UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said: “Putin is ramping up his invasion, senselessly sending more Russians to their deaths than at any time since the start of the war. “
